Everyone knows that scoring a job can be a difficult and tedious process. You call all of your contacts, go to several job fairs, search through dozens of search engines and fill out numerous online applications, all asking for the same information — then it happens! You get a call for an interview and realize this could be your big moment.

Preparing for a job interview is nerve-wracking enough without the unsettling sense that an interviewer might ask a question you aren’t prepared to answer. It’s those unusual, hard-to-prepare-for questions that we all dread.

Labor Day this year is on Monday, September 3. That means it’s a long weekend for the workforce.

Shortly after 10:10 p.m. this evening, Nik Wallenda stepped on to a wire high above Niagara Falls and took the first steps of a journey he’d been preparing for for months. In about 25 minutes, the daredevil walked his way from the United States to Canada on the 1,800-foot long, 2-inch wide cable strung just over the precipice of the Falls.

Today is the big day: At 10:10 p.m. this evening, Nik Wallenda will make his high-wire walk across Niagara Falls. We sent our digital team out to cover all the action, so check back for coverage throughout the day today as we track his progress and check out the crowds. Who know what might happen up in the Falls today.
